After asking college leaders to address circulating rumors, the council unanimously approved a resolution reaffirming Hutto's support for Temple College, citing dual-credit programs and workforce training and noting the college's ongoing campus investments.
Council heard a presentation from Temple College leadership and voted 7–0 to approve Resolution R‑2026‑083 reaffirming the city's support for Temple College and its Hutto campus.
Temple College representatives described existing programs in Hutto, including the Texas Bioscience Institute, an early college high school and a new free dual-credit program that allows local students to earn college credit at no cost.
